Custom User Strings | Black Box A/C-7S RO, A/C-7P RO instruction

A/C-7P RO, A/C-7S RO

This is an &%1B26643044&%underlined&%1 B266440&% word.

to print on the printer as:

This is an underlined word.

NOTES

Only numbers or the upper case letters A–F are allowed.

Errors in the Command Pass-Thru sequence will cause the A/C-7 RO to ignore the command and resume printing at the point the error occurred.

Command Pass-Thru may change the horizontal spacing.

6.2 Custom User Strings

Host download command 55 allows you to define up to six (0 through 5) custom user strings. A user string can be a font ID, a form feed, or another printer command that is frequently used.

After the custom user string is defined, the string is activated by placing the delimiter (&% or the beginning delimiter defined with command 40), a capital letter U, and the number of the desired custom user string into the text of a document.

For example, use command 55 to define user string number 3 to send a form feed as follows (FF = 0C in hex):

&%Z55,3(0C)

Then, to send a form feed at the end of a print job, enter the following at the end of the document:

&%U3

Print the document, and the interface will send the 0C, or form feed, command to the printer when it encounters the &%U3 code.

6.3 SCS Mode Transparent Data

SCS transparent mode (SCS TRN code 35) provides a method for transparent data transmission when operating in LU1 mode. To use this method, you must be connected to a system using SNA protocol and be operating as a Logical Unit Type 1.

An SCS TRN sequence begins with a one-byte binary count immediately following the TRN code. The count indicates the number of bytes, not including the count byte, of transparent data to follow. Up to 256 bytes of transparent data can be sent in each sequence.
